Achromobacter spp. may contaminate lenses, lens cases, and contact lens solutions and cause ocular infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of isolated strain of Achromobacter xylosoxidans to form biofilm on the surface of soft contact lenses (CL), to quantify the production of the formed biofilm, and compare it with the reference strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae). Bacterial strain isolated from one contact lens case was identified as A. xylosoxidans using Vitek2 Automated System. Biofilm forming capacity of isolated strain of A. xylosoxidans and reference strains of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and H. influenzae on soft CL were analyzed by commonly used microtitre plate method. Our results showed that isolated strain of A. xylosoxidans was capable to form biofilm on the surface of soft contact lens. A. xylosoxidans was strong biofilm producer while all examined reference strains were moderate biofilm producers. A. xylosoxidans appears to be superior biofilm producer on soft CL compared to reference strains.

“…Mitochondrial disorders are associated with protean manifestations, including gastrointestinal complications ranging from reflux and constipation to frank pseudo-obstruction. Given this underlying intestinal dysmotility, an increased risk of PD-related peritonitis is conceivable in this population (5). Certain drugs-new systemic antibiotics among them-are known to trigger severe side effects in patients with mitochondriopathies (6).…”

“…None of those risk factors was present in our patient. a. denitrificans can cause endocarditis in natural and prosthesis valves, pneu monia, meningitis, peritonitis, conjunctivitis, osteomyelitis, and intra-abdominal abscesses (1,4,5 In September 2012, a 49-year-old woman on PD was admitted for a first episode of peritonitis (Enterobacter cloacae). Her underlying renal disease was hereditary mitochondriopathy (3243A>G mutation of mitochondrial DNA).…”

Because of increased resistance against a range of antimicrobial agents, A. xylosoxidans must be fully identified and differentiated from other gram-negative isolates from ocular infections.…”

We describe a rare case of extraocular inflammation secondary to scleral buckle infection with Alcaligenes xylosoxidans. A 60-year-old female with a history of retinal detachment repair with open-book technique of scleral buckling presented with purulent discharge and irritation in the right eye that had begun 4 weeks earlier and had been treated ineffectively at another hospital. Conjunctival erosion with exposure of the scleral buckle was noted. The scleral buckle was removed and cultured. The explanted material grew gram-negative rod later identified as A. xylosoxidans. On the basis of the susceptibility test results, the patient was treated by subconjunctival injection and fortified topical ceftazidime. After 4 weeks of treatment, the infection resolved.
